Distancing Reviews
Working / Worked
I went for 3 years without gambling at all.
Working / Worked
i have tried to stay away, and will keep trying, not much success as of yet
Working / Worked
It was a very embarrassing and humbling experience to stand in front of strangers, have them take my mug shot, fingerprints and admit that I had a problem. When it came to gambling I did not know when to walk away or say 'no more'. Self-exclusion gave me the extra boost I needed to stay focused on quitting and start working on the underlying issues.
Working / Worked
It really does not work, I just go further to a place where I am not excluded.
Working / Worked
I just make my husband control checkbooks, money,etc and do not want to put myself in the environment. Do not want to take a risk.
Working / Worked
Stayed away for 6 weeks and it worked well. But then I won a jackpot with only 5 bucks & got stuck even more on them. I can stay away if I don't have any money but as soon as payday hits I start playing again.
Working / Worked
Banned myself for 5 years to begin with, but ban is up now. Staying away is working right now.
Working / Worked
I'm trying but it is so tempting. Every store has scratch tickets!
Working / Worked
I have decided that the only way I can walk away a winner is to not walk in!
Working / Worked
I haven't been into a live casino in over a year but I still fall prey to internet gambling sites.
